We’re talking today to David
Friedland, the VP of Business Development at IRI. Short for Innovative Routines
International, IRI is a data management ISV founded 40 years ago (in 1978) with
its headquarters in Melbourne, Florida and support offices in more than 40
cities worldwide.

IRI has been best known for its
CoSort big data manipulation software, but more recently has been making its
bones in the data protection market with its data masking product FieldShield,
as well as a larger data lifecycle management platform that includes FieldShield,
called Voracity.

For the last 10 years, IRI’s ability
to find and mask data in a fast, targeted way has earned it mentions or awards
from the The Privacy and Data Security Law Journal and trade publications like
CIO Applications, CIO Review, Computerworld, Corporate Vision, and DBTA
Magazine, plus Research and Markets, Gartner, and The Bloor Group.
